What qualifies for the Iowa Health and Dental Insurance Deduction?
You can enter all your health and dental insurance premiums as long as they weren't withheld on a pre-tax basis or reimbursed in 2025. We'll check if you qualify. This includes supplemental health insurance like Medicare B supplemental medical insurance, Medicare D voluntary prescription drug insurance, and long-term nursing home coverage premiums. Just don't include any "Medicare Tax Withheld" from your W-2 Forms.
Remember, the deduction isn't available for anyone who paid these health insurance premiums on a pre-tax basis. Pre-tax means health insurance premiums are taken out of your gross wages before withholding taxes are calculated. You can check with your payroll department for more info on pre-tax details.
